November 19th, 2016It seems like every time Tomas Hertl turns the corner, something holds him back.
He was a dynamic rookie three seasons ago, netting 15 goals in 37 games. But then came the knee-on-knee collision with Dustin Brown, and there went his season, lost to surgery to repair ligaments in his right knee.
After a subpar sophomore...

October 30th, 2016When it comes to uniqueness, perhaps no NHL defenseman has what Brent Burns has to offer. He is listed on defense but has the skill-set of a forward. He is 6-foot-5 and 230 pounds but has the agility of a speedy winger. He can undress a defender but also rip a slap shot with the velocity of a cannon.
Sure, he has flaws. He gambles at...

October 26th, 2016The lengthy five-game East Coast road trip aside, the San Jose Sharks should have entered Tuesday night's game against the Anaheim Ducks at SAP Center with a record better than .500.
Sure, they played some tough teams like the New York Rangers, New York Islanders, Detroit Red Wings and Pittsburgh Penguins, but they should have been...

October 18th, 2016Three games is a small sample size — I know. But as the San Jose Sharks settle into their 2016-2017 campaign, its clear that this team is on track, the mojo that took them to the Stanley Cup Final months ago not far removed.
Sure, they suffered their first loss on Monday in a 7-4 road defeat to the New York Rangers, a game that...

September 18th, 2016Last season, the San Jose Sharks put together their best season ever. While the regular season was nothing special, the Sharks' impressive postseason run to the Stanley Cup Final was the first such run in team history.
Though there was much to cheer about, the Sharks were exposed in the Stanley Cup Final by an impressive and fast...

July 30th, 2016A couple of themes have become apparent for the San Jose Sharks: their ability to sign European players who can make an immediate impact, and their commitment to speed.
In 24-year-old Swedish prospect Marcus Sorensen, they might have both. The Sharks inked the forward to an entry-level contract back in May — while they were in the...

July 20th, 2016Dylan Gambrell looks up to Joe Pavelski — perhaps for a reason.
Both are centers. Both were overlooked in the draft (Pavelski waited until the seventh round in 2003 and Gambrell was passed over entirely — twice). And both have a desire to fight and overcome the odds.
Gambrell, the Sharks’ top pick in the 2016 draft, was...

June 30th, 2016In past years, San Jose Sharks' General Manager Doug Wilson has gone into many an offseason on the hot seat, facing mounting criticism and pressure to rebuild the roster.
Disappointing early playoff exits will do that to you. Year after year, the futures of Joe Thornton and Patrick Marleau seemingly hung in the balance, as did the...
